A propos de cet article

16mo, 208 pages, quarter calf, printed boards (scuffed and lacking much printing on the rear board), lacks front free endpaper. some stains, some corners; other minor flaws (offered "as is"). Emma Willard collaborated with Woodbridge on this method and text. The method: "It is by comparing facts of the same kind, by arranging them in classes and reducing them to general principles, that so much simplicity and beauty have been given to modern works of science." - Preface to the Third Edition. Extensively illustrated with wood engravings, including an elephant chasing a hunter, who has climbed up a palm tree, which the elephant is trying to pull out of the ground. Woodbridge includes some feisty observations, such as, "There are probably 100,000 Indians in the United States, and 300,000 in their territories. Most of them are savages, ignorant of Christianity, and sunk in vice." - p.37. Note: recommended by Benjamin Silliman, and Thomas H. Gallaudet.

Description de la boutique

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera. …
